The choice not to have a traditional soundtrack for this film was perfect. It helped create tension, and the shoot out/chase scene before was one of the best I’ve ever seen. While a small part of me feels that the Coen’s are treading over old ground, at least stylistically, it’s certainly one of their best films.
Tommy Lee Jones was perfect, with a world weary tone in his narration that said as much as the words he used.
9.5/10
